Regarding the topic of happiness, and positive thinking I found this interesting.
I read this from a book written by a non verbal 13 year old autistic boy after he was asked "would you like to be normal"?
This was his response
"I learned that every human being, with or without disabilities, needs to strive to do their best, and by striving for happiness you will arrive at happiness. For us, you see having autism is normal-so we cant know for sure what your normal is even like. But so long as we can learn to love ourselves, I'm not sure how much it matters whether we're normal or autistic"
